[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Once you root your phone and have CWM recovery and not the stock one you can flash any ROM you choose.It has nothing to do with kernels but each ROM is based on a firmware so you should match your firmware to a ROM based on the same to start with and if you choose to stay with the same ROM then there are non-wipe ROMs that can be flashed over top without worries.Just be sure you read properly the install/flash instructions.Some ROMs need Odin to be flashed but most just need to be pasted to your internal-SD and then flashed in recovery mode.Ill leave a link below to my ROM where there is an instruction guide so you can read it to see what I mean.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
It depends on how you have rooted ...... if as mentioned above you have CWM (means you have flashed a custom/insecure stock kernel) just flash a ROM with CWM Recovery like any ZIP but i'd advise you to reset the phone before that .... since you are on Stock ROM which is Odexed and all custom ROMs are deodexed you might end up in a bootloop also may i suggest CheckROM as it is simple to install and highly customizable thus i recommend this as your first flash......

I'm thinking of taking back my nook tablet and picking up a galaxy tab plus. I would like to know how the nook app works on the galaxy tab If I want to read b&n books on it. Is it working well for you guys? I also want to be able to share books from my other nook color and will that work well with the nook app on a galaxy tab? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
I haven't used the Nook app on my GTab7+. I find the epubs work very well with Aldiko. Actually never really used the Nook app on my NC for that matter. Have usually just migrated to more featured reader apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lrs421:
Works great for me. My wife has a nook color, the tab performs almost as well in this regard. The only feature I would miss is the read out loud option on the children's titles.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Khidr:
I picked up the tab after a lot of debate, with reading being one of my main uses, and not thrilled with all the nonsense going on over in nook tablet land. The nook app works wonderfully, and is my preferred reader both for nook content and side-loaded non-drm'ed epubs. It's very snappy and syncs well with my nook 3g. Plus you aren't locked into the nook ecosystem, which is always nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jumpman23j:
Thanks for help guys. So I can use the nook app to download books and store them on the galaxy from my b&n account? Does this work with magazine subscriptions too? Basically I want to know if I have to be connected to the internet through wifi to view my magazines or books. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StingerDog:
Although I dont have the Nook app, if it's anything like the Kindle's app, you won't need to be connected to the internet in order to read something. When I "download" one of my books in Kindle, the book is stored locally on my device for reading at any time.

I would imagine Nook's app to be the same. When you think about it, it would be crazy for them to require the reader to be online in order to read a book. Think of how that would turn people off from having access to reading content that they purchased.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wfellis:
Yes your magazines work :) I just traded the NT to 7+ I actually prefer the books organization in the app as opposed to how the NT organized everything. The only dissappointment is no hulu plus natively on the 7+ without work arounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] coppertubing:
Just an FYI for you book readers. Take a look at Overdrive. If you have a library card and your library has digital content, you should be able to connect to it and download and read books for free. You may have to wait a few days for the newest titles, but I've been reading a lot of books that way. You can't beat free.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
For whatever it might be worth, I've really enjoyed using "Moon Reader" as a book reader on this tablet. Very configurable....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jumpman23j:
Cool thanks for the info. I'm basically in the same boat as you in that I'm thinking of trading in the NT for the 7+ as well. It doesn't help that it seems B&N is having trouble with losses mounting and selling off the nook brand.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aperture:
It's a joy using Moon Reader. I never got tired using it as a book reader. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wfellis:
My thought on them selling is not that they are getting rid of their revenue stream, merely protecting it from dead treebrick andmorter losses. I feel they doomed themselves by having apps cost3x what they cost in the android market. I don't think you will be disappointed with the 7plus if you have the money. If cost is the main factor the nt is still a good device that doesn't need to be rooted to enjoy using it as a reader or media consumption device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] putney1477:
I use this on my gtab 8.9 and I love it! You can hold up.to 5 books......when the next one becomes available you get an email to download it. Very cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] reverenddak:
The Nook app for android sucks. I haven't found a Library/Reader setup that works as well and as elegantly as the stock NT Library and Reader. I'm considering returning my Nook Tablet from CM10 back to stock+root, so I can have its slick reading system back. It's a pain in the butt to add epubs to the Nook App (they can be side-loaded to two folders on the device) and it doesn't read PDFs and CBZ like the stock NT did. So far I've settled on Comic Rack for CBZ(and CBR) and Mantano Reader, but they're considerably clunkier.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] thghost:
The best ebook reader on this tab has got to be no doubt the samsung stock ebook reader app from the HC version. I have ported the new apk file to my gtab 7+ ICS and it works really well..

There is a thread on tab 10.1 forum regarding porting of this. u guys can check it out if anyones interested. The stock app has good graphics especially for page turning and the page turn sound. kinda gives a real book feel. :):laugh::laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Bad2hold:
For whatever nook might be: Try Mantano Reader. Now with cloud and all customization features, missing with other readers. Even PDFs are customizable in size and colour. Night mode for everything, of course...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kcerica:
If anyone is interested, I love fbreader on my tablet and phone because it has all of the addons that I want like text to speech, you can access your calibre library from ykmour computer if you configure calibre to share, there's an app that syncs where you left off in your book so you can continue on your other device. The library isn't pretty like other ebook readers but the options rock & it's free!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lowcothiradee:
Tried a few apps, but i found Moon Reader is the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] douri:
My Opinion...

I have recently started reading light novels on my Galaxy Tab Plus and I have found two apps to be great ereaders, the first is Kobo Reader, I actually read on this app the most because it not only looks great, but if the epub has embedded images, it will display them as well. The second app is Fabrik Reader. This app is awesome! It looks great, synchronizes with dropbox, my only problem with it is that it doesn't display the embedded pictures.

I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] captcarl:
I have both and use both and with the right apps have no problems...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etaneepitas28:
I've been lurking in the shadows on this forum for awhile now, I've rooted multiple phones, customized roms, and just recently made a successful aosp rom.

also just saw my post count so want to say thanks to the countless guides on this site.

That being said on to the project at hand.

My next project I want to take out anything that is only for making phone calls since I use SIP for all my calls. I've been doing a little experimenting removing apps and such (Thank you titanium backup), but wanted to see if anyone else had any luck trying this before I just repeated someone elses work.

I'm going to be doing this with a ported version of cyanogenmod (IHO for LG Optimus V) but I figure it will be close for all phones

I tried simply removing the phone app and got force closes like crazy.

So I guess my questions are

Has anyone attempted this before?

How far did you get and what did you find out?

Do tablets already have this removed? this would provide a good example to start but from what I can tell they still have these functions just turned off (wasting space), feel free to correct me if I'm wrong I wasn't able to find much on that since I don't own one.

Any good guide on modifying apps? I've seen a few here and there but didn't really get to far with it (not that I gave it enough time to be honest).

I'm just trying to find a good starting point for this since it's a little more in depth then most of my projcets
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Captain:
I removed all phone stuff before. What I did was when it fc, I pulled battery and it would not fc anymore. Then i would continue to remove the rest. Hope this works!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etaneepitas28:
This worked, except I still need my data, I didn't make it a very strong point but I have an unlimited data plan so basically i'm coming at this from a battery and space side of things, I don't need the ability to make calls or have my phone sitting there waiting for calls but I do need my data so my SIP app can send and receive calls and i can text with google voice.

This is why i figured I'd have to get into the source editing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
I am a GT7510 Noob who is gradually learning how useful this thing can be. After about a month, overcame my fears about bricking my new toy and rooted the Tab. Following the directions posted in this forum everything went very smoothly. After that, I installed Task's latest ROM. Then the fun began.

I have spent the last 25 years taking for granted that my computers and phones could only do what Microsoft or Apple thought they should do. With my Android Tab, I a quickly learning that this does not have to be the case. This post is intended to be a place where Galaxy Tab users can share the apps and other enhancements that become available after rooting the device. I will go first.

Titanium Backup

The first app in installed after rooting my Tab was Titanium Backup. This is a very powerful and useful app. It allowed me to do a complete backup of my stock setup so I could fearlessly go forward without fear that I might permanently brick my Tab. This is a must-have that only works on rooted devices.

Samba Filesharing

Next, I discovered Samba Filesharing, an app that allows the Tab's SD Card to be displayed and accessed as a wireless device on my Window's network. No more Kies, no more plugging the tab into a USB slot to transfer stuff back and forth. Brilliant!

Voodoo Control

I am not positive that the Tab has to be rooted for this app to work but I am glad I found it. Basically, this app allows the user to increase the volume of the feed from the headphone jack to levels much higher than the stock limits. I use this app when I have my Tab plugged in to my AV Receiver playing music from Pandora or my Google Music library. I am sure that it will come in handy elsewhere such as when trying to listen to a phone message in a noisy environment or when I get a seat next to the engine on an airplane.

Wizz Bar

This app creates a second pop-up menu tray that works independently of the stock Samsung tray. Unlike the stock pop-up tray, links to apps can be easily added or deleted any time. Wizz Bar keeps the apps that I use most often easily accessible from my home screen.

I am sure that that are dozens, maybe hundreds of extremely useful apps which can only be run from rooted devices. If you have a favorite or two, please post it here.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lexvandoef:
The nandroid backup function in cwm is very handy.

And voodoo screentune works wonders for the screencolor calibration.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] .synq:
Mostly for overclocking but also for flashing roms! :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jastop:
Automatic Clock Update

If you have a WiFi only tab adding the ClockSync app will keep your clock in sync with the rest of the world
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Murmel2k:
My reasons are Samba Filesharing, Titanium Backup, Overclocking and last but not least Adfree Android. A phone without these apps seems quite useless to me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] beta546:
First I wouldn't be thinking that titanium will prevent you bricking your device. Only a full nandroid in cwm is any good and even then there are still ways you could hard brick your tab. Also you don't need to root to flash cwm

Again rooting isn't needed to flash roms. Odin cwm and then flash the rom, most roms are pre rooted so no need to do it :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
Please explain this comment. Why am I not protected if I run a complete backup in Titanium? Why is a Nandroid backup better?

Bob
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Slayer23:
CWM Recovery

ROMs of course

Overclocking (and custom kernels)

SMB Share

UBUNTU!

and so on :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zapskull:
The nandroid will do a whole backup of your os (including pgms, settings, sms...AND also kernel, radio) it's an image of your phone at one moment.

Titanium only does an apps' back up. With it u'll be able to restore your apps and its setings. U'll loose your firmware/kernel/radio and ur firmware settings..

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
Correct me if I am wrong but it appears that Titanium offers serveral backup options. I backed up all my apps and then did a backup of all the system files. Both are stored on my PC. Did I mess up?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] beta546:
No but as the guy above says. Titanium ONLY backs up apps and settings. If you bricked your device anything backed up in titanium is useless. Do you have cwm? If not find the thread on it and follow the sinple instructions. Then do a backup in cwm, only then will you be safe but like I said, even then there are still things that could hard brick it, just not that likely and really only if you were doing somthing really technical. Also if any guide on xda had a chance of causing hard brink they would warn you.

[Acer Iconia A500] al2fast:
nice score!
[Acer Iconia A500] mswirski:
Nice find, i got a 64GB version for $399.

I could only find the 8GB for $300.. so it was kind of a no brainer for me.

I don't mind buying the older hardware like the A500. Sure newer better stuff will be coming out soon, but the a500 is good enough to last a year or two and perform well. Compare the $450 at release for the 8GB model with a few bugs in honeycomb 3.0 and acers implementation, to the super smooth 3.2 that you picked up for $229 (almost half price).

There was a time when i would aim to buy the newest and greatest. But theres always something newer, and always something greater. It seems more reasonable to wait until the kinks have been worked out, and there is a sale.
[Acer Iconia A500] mythek88:

[Acer Iconia A500] rugerredhawk:
I got the same model. I wish I had gotten a 16gb, but for the price this is very good.
[Acer Iconia A500] kontractor:
I picked it up for the same price from Best Buy and I love it. Sure, it's only 8GB, but I have a 32GB card in it, 2x16GB Thumb Drives I picked up cheap, and a 1TB Buffalo drive that works fine with it. More storage than I could ever need for the tablet!

I picked up a USB hub for it and I can use the netbook mouse and a combination of the storage with it. I have a USB memory card reader that works as well. Nice being able to shoot pics on my DSLR and then edit them with PS Touch on the tablet.

Running the Honeylicious rom with ADW Launcher EX customized into a tab type of interface. Mizuu (the paid version does have the stacked icons on the home screen) gives me the movies from the storage.

All in all a great friggin tablet! I don't do alot of "gaming" tablet wise really so I doubt I will upgrade this thing unless Tegra 3 tablets really hit sub $300 mid 2012 like predicted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spier:
Has anyone have cifsmanager working on the Prime? Installed it but can't mount any shares. Also cifs.ko seems to be missing in /system/lib/modules/ so it might be a kernel problem / unsupported. I've rooted my Prime with nachoroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TalynOne:
As an alternative that doesn't require root try ES File Explorer, on the LAN tab create entries for your samba shares and access your files that way. Great way to stream media into media players like DicePlayer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mamoulian666:
The .ko is not usually in Android kernels by default.

When the Prime's kernel source is available then you could build it, or probably someone will do that and post it on here.

You could try nabbing one built for the Transformer, no idea if they're on the same kernel... probably not but close. In that case the module will refuse to load by default but you can force it (insmod -f I think), sometimes that works.

I seem to remember early days Transformer people nabbing one from the Xoom.

I hope we get the kernel sources for ICS soon, I really need the cifs kernel module (cifs.ko) ! :(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ahmad Alsaeed:
I hope to see CM9 in my razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nothingham:
let´s dont forget that RAZR it´s a "recent" phone, so let´s give some time for developers to make their magic things. I hope to see a lot of ROM´s like those for HD2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
So is the nexus, but it has like 2 dozen all ready
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
More dev's, and unlocked bootloader along w/ source codes available immediately. Because of all those things being available immediately Dev's were able load a custom kernel ASAP without fear of bricking their phone.....or at least not as much of a threat.

With a locked bootloader, there's more of a chance of bricking without fastboot/sbf/fzx files. Now that those are around, more tweaks can be experimented with.

I've also written a few times, I expect once CM9 hits officially with all the corrected trees to fork, or a proper ICS release on a moto phone, regardless if it's the RAZR or not, we'll see quite a few RAZR Roms available in no time.

I just think all the Dev's are either tweaking with CM9 & ICS using pre-alpha's, and once someone gets the radio's and touch screen correct, the damn is going to break, and other dev's will jump in with their ROM's.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
I disagree. The only development we will really see is what you see. So many new phones come out all the time now, it's just not the same.

You can get a good idea of the development you will see in the first two weeks. Sad to say, but I wouldn't expect much.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
My personal experience with the Droid X and D2G global were actually the opposite.

I bought my D2G the week it came out, there were no Dev's working on that thing for at least 2.5-3 months. I didn't even know of a custom ROM for that time.

Now there's more than a dozen ROMs for the D2G and just as many for the DX.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MiGeCh:
Guys just wait for ICS ota to come out or CM9 to get to beta. anyway most roms are based on CM distributive
